Description of the problem	2010 lincoln mkt- we were traveling home on christmas eve 2015 in goffstown, nh when suddenly out of nowhere as we were turning a corner the steering wheel tightened up and just about locked into place in the turn. We had just got off the highway returning from my in-laws from 40 miles away. Luckily there was nobody in that intersection because i was clearly on the wrong side of the road after this happened and nearly missed going into the ditch. The time of day was also a blessing in disguise because it was just about midnight and we were almost home so the kids could open some gifts. I looked down at the dashboard and the service power steering/service traction control light was flashing. A bit late to say the least. We stopped on the side of the road after correcting the steering wheel with 2 hands and sat for a minute. Another blessing was we were less than a mile to home when this actually happened and being the time of day, we decided to continue on very slowly driving with absolutely no power steering and 2 hands gripped to the wheel. I am a truck driver/equipment operator by trade and have always taught myself to expect the unexpected which this was. My wife was going to drive home originally and i said i would and i am so glad i did because this may have had a different outcome especially if it happened at another time and place. The car is in our driveway as i make this complaint on christmas day and will be being towed to a dealer tomorrow. After doing some research online, i came across the other complaints with different years covered and now know there is a problem with other years and models with the pscm (power steering control module). Ford has a current recall (15s18) with the same problem listed. I am hoping that the investigation reopens a new recall for expanded years of these mkt models and possibly others before someone gets killed.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
